[3:13] Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom.
[3:14] But if in your heart you are jealous, bitter, and selfish, don't sin against the truth by boasting of your wisdom.
[3:15] Such wisdom does not come down from heaven; it belongs to the world, it is unspiritual and demonic.
[3:16] Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil.
[3:17] But the wisdom from above is pure first of all; it is also peaceful, gentle, and friendly; it is full of compassion and produces a harvest of good deeds; it is free from prejudice and hypocrisy.
[3:18] And goodness is the harvest that is produced from the seeds the peacemakers plant in peace.
